Go Live It. Dare I say it: this is my favorite Descendants finale song. It would make a great Kairos song for Life Graph. Love the lyrics, tune, all the cast singing. Brandy steals the show in the best possible way. 10/10 no notes. youtu.be/Pz-EVbcaoug?...

Who I am I honestly forget this song exists. It needs more. It's really short. But my 6 year old answers all of the rhetorical questions and that makes me laugh. 5/10

Heartless. Solid vocals from Chloe and Max Hatter. Wish there was more buildup to choosing to become Evil Chloe. Not my jam but really a solid contribution. 6.75/10.

The Girl I Used to Be. 75/10. Perfect. A Brandy and Rita Ora duet for the ages. It's like they took "the boy is mine" and turned it from a high school fight into a song about mothering. Written very much for geriatric millennials, which I am.

For Once in Life. A great song, but sounds like it should be in Zombie movie. Imagine Meg/Milo or Freya/Malachi. Hear it? Right? It's better. 2/10 in Descendants. 9/10 if in another movie. And furthermore, does anyone buy the Luis and Red relationship?

Perfect Princess: Honestly, this is a bop. It's supposed to be grating and it is. Plus "nepo baby" is an absurdly perfect lyrics. My favorite line is: PRINCESS that's our 2 favorite princess -es I could sing along all day. 9/10.

I predict this line will be something we all quote for years to come: 25. Understanding that the truth is a gift to be shared, not a possession to be monopolized, frees the Church from the temptation of seeking forms of presence based on power.

I'm liking Leo playing around with the concepts of uniforming v unity, diversity v chaos. 8: Thus, ancient Jerusalem rediscovers a common language — not one of uniformity, but one of communion

I find it really interesting that Pope Leo directly states what he is doing. There's no inference. "I therefore wish to add my own voice to this living tradition, invoking the help of the Spirit of wisdom, who has dwelt in the world since its beginning (cf. Prov 8:22-31)

Obsessed with the idea that Pope Leo got up on that Papal Plane and legitimately said the equivalent of Taylor Swift's infamous "I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative."

Last week @annieselak.bsky.social was on PBS NewsHour to discuss one year of Pope Leo. Moderator Nick Schifrin asked the panelists if they thought Leo would become more outspoken about moral / political matters. Three of the panelists said no; he’s soft-spoken. Annie said yes. Hats off to Dr. Selak.

Everything in college sports is a mess. We need a do over. And my proposal might be absurd but it is no more absurd than Tennessee having no returning players or UCLA being in the Big Ten.

What about private schools? Here's where it gets fun. Notre Dame could pull from Midwestern Catholics. Some students will have more choices than others. That's ok! So like a women's basketball player in Chicago could choose ND, Illinois, DePaul or Northwestern (she will obviously choose ND)

Every university should only be able to recruit from their location/background. So in this men's basketball final, it should be a team of Michiganders vs a team of people from CT. #ncaa #marchmadness

I have a plan to fix the NCAA. No really, hear me out. We can all agree that conferences are a mess. I think we need a clean slate with brand new conferences. That's not a new idea though. But stick with me
